Chef Akira

Known for incorporating a sense of adventure and boundless creativity into his culinary creations, brand owner and culinary mastermind Chef Akira was born in Korea and raised in Aspen, Colorado.

Chef Akira spent his early years as a professional snowboarder and competed in the X Games. When he was not on the slopes, Chef Akira found himself just as thrilled and exhilarated in the kitchen as he did on his board and decided to pursue a full time culinary career.

Chef Akira began his career as a Sushi Prep Cook at Kenichi in Aspen, followed by roles in Austin, Texas, and then Kona, Hawaii where he worked as the Opening Chef. He toured extensively throughout Japan and Europe, studying under top celebrity chefs and industry leaders, where he honed the possibilities of using rare and exotic ingredients. Chef Akira garners his inspiration for culinary creations from personal encounters and experiences in the places he has travelled to.

After the opening of Yellowtail and Kumi in Las Vegas, Chef Akira went on to open two namesake Akira Back restaurants in India and Indonesia, prior to the opening of his restaurant in Singapore.
